Loading player...
In the daring world of Fantasy Fund Manager, the powerhouses of profit aren't where you'd expect. The resource sector is conspicuously absent from the top ten winners' circle, leaving room for unexpected stars like Truworths, soaring 25%. Step into the spotlight and find a diverse top ten roster: three retail titans, four financial juggernauts, a resilient Rand hedge, a dynamic mid and small cap, and a lone tech and communications marvel. But as inflation's fiery pace begins to cool - July's local figures a surprising 4.7% below expectations - can we anticipate a grand performance shuffle? Tune in to this week's podcast, hosted by BizNews' Stuart Lowman. Joining the stage are Grant Morris, the strategic portfolio maestro at ClucasGray Asset Management, and the astute independent financial adviser Brett Rubin. Holding their own within the top echelons - third and sixth, to be precise - both Grant and Brett unveil their blueprints for triumph and what it takes to unseat the reigning maestro, Rene Zietsman.
